Fordhook 
Wonder 
Main-Crop PEAS 
770 Fordhook Wonder © 
Named after Burpee’s Fordhook Farms 
79 days. Extremely large pods, 5 to 5% in. long, nearly round, 
dark green, and contain up to 10 extra-large peas that are sweet 
and most delicious. Quality is excellent; very good for freezing. 
For a main-crop home garden pea, or for markets where size of 
pods is important, we recommend Fordhook Wonder for any 
section where late peas do well. Plants are very vigorous, pro- 
ductive, dark green, coarse, 28 in. tall; peas are of the finest 
flavor and they retain their sweetness for an unusually long 
time after the pods are ready to pick. Valuable for shipping.

785 Alderman or 
Tall Dark Podded Telephone 
74 days. Depending upon growing conditions, vines grow 4% to 6 ft. tall 
and require support. Very productive over a long bearing season. Pods 42 
to 5 in. and more in length, straight, pointed; well filled with 8 to 10 extra- 
large, extra-sweet peas which hold their green color well in cooking. An ideal, 
high quality pea of unsurpassed flavor for home, market, shipping and freez- 
ing. Does best in cooler regions as do all the largest podded varieties.

793 Carter’s Daisy or 
Dwarf Telephone— sweez, tender 
79 days. Vines grow about 24 in. tall, are stout and invariably bear a good 
crop of attractive large pods, 4% in. long, broad, slightly curved, and 
pointed, each containing 7 to 9 large, round, luscious peas of the most 
excellent quality and fine flavor. A standard market variety and popular 
medium-tall, large-podded pea for the home garden as the vines are short 
and bushy enough not to require support. Suitable for quick freezing.

pods on strong, dark green vines 28 in. tall. The pods are 44 to5™%

In sections where late peas can be grown satisfactorily, Potlatch is 
a superior pea for home and market; desirable for freezing and 
shipping to distant markets. Quite resistant to fusarium wilt.

How to Grow Peas 
Peas make their best growth during cool weather so that the first planting of seed should be 
made as early in the spring as the soil can be worked. Sow an early variety two or three 
times at 10-day intervals or choose from the smooth-seeded early, wrinkled-seeded early 
and main-crop varieties. Sow again in late summer for a fall crop. Planting space available 
more or less governs the number of sowings and the choice between tall and dwarf varieties. 
Peas are usually planted in double rows 3 in. apart, the seeds dropped 2 in. apart and 
covered with 1 to 2 in. of soil. Double rows should be spaced about 27 it. apart. For best 
results, provide supports (wire, brush or string) for the tall-growing varieties to climb upon. 
A pkt. will sow 20 ft. of single row; 1 Ib. 100 ft. 

EDIBLE-PODDED or SUGAR PEAS 
PODS ARE COOKED LIKE SNAP BEANS 
Sugar Peas possess the tenderness and fleshy podded qualities of a snap bean and the flavor and sweet- 
ness of fresh green peas. When young the pods are cooked like snap beans; the peas are not shelled. 
At this stage, pods are stringless, brittle and succulent. Should pods develop too fast for use as snap 
beans, seeds may be eaten as shelled peas and are of the best flavor before they have reached full size. 
Pods are entirely free of fiber or parchment, flat-podded except Giant Butter. Vines of the taller growing 
varieties should be given support of string or brush to climb upon for best results.
